BMW 7 G11 G12 LCI FACELIFT M SPORT FRONT PACKAGE
BMW 7 Series G11 (Short Wheelbase) and G12 (Long Wheelbase) LCI Facelift represents one of the most dramatic mid-cycle refreshes in BMW’s history. The M Sport Front Package is the primary choice for owners looking to replace the “Luxury Line” chrome-heavy look with a more aggressive, aerodynamic, and commanding presence.
Package Core Components
An LCI M Sport Front Conversion or Factory Package includes the following structural and aesthetic elements:
-
Enlarged Kidney Grilles: The defining feature of the LCI G11/G12. The grille is roughly 40% larger than the pre-facelift model and features a single-piece surround. In M Sport trim, these are typically finished in High-Gloss Shadowline (Black) or Cerium Grey.
-
M Aerodynamic Front Apron: A redesigned bumper with significantly larger outer air intakes. Unlike the standard LCI bumper, the M Sport version features sharp, functional “Air Blades” that optimize airflow around the front wheels.
-
Slimline Headlight Integration: The LCI headlights are 35mm slimmer than the original G11 units. The M Sport package ensures perfect flush fitment with these units, whether you are running the standard Adaptive LEDs or the BMW Laserlight system.
-
Redesigned Hood (Bonnet): To accommodate the massive new grille, the LCI front package requires a specific hood with revised contour lines that meet the top of the kidney surround.
Technical Comparison: M Sport vs. Standard LCI
| Feature | M Sport Package | Standard LCI (Pure Excellence) |
| Air Intakes | Large, open-mesh racing style | Horizontal slats with chrome accents |
| Trim Finish | High-Gloss Shadowline / Cerium Grey | High-Gloss Chrome |
| Aero Features | Integrated Air Blades & Splitter Lip | Smooth, refined lower valance |
| Visual Stance | Aggressive, lowered appearance | Wide, elegant, and “stately” |
Retrofit Considerations (2016–2019 Models)
If you are performing a “Facelift Conversion” on a pre-LCI G11 or G12, the “Front Package” is extensive because the LCI changes were structural, not just cosmetic. A complete conversion typically requires:
-
LCI M Sport Bumper (including all internal meshes and PDC holders).
-
LCI Hood (essential—the old hood will not shut over the new grille).
-
LCI Headlights (and potentially new headlight mounting brackets).
-
LCI Fenders (often required for perfect panel gaps with the new light shape).Pro Tip: When ordering an aftermarket conversion kit, ensure it supports your specific driver assistance features. The G11/G12 LCI has a large ACC (Active Cruise Control) Radar sensor located in the center of the lower bumper; ensure your M Sport package has the correct cutout to avoid system errors.
